Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how BNA Architects ("BNA Architects", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use the Architect mobile application (the "App") and related services.

The App may provide architecture and construction tools such as project planning, estimates, material calculations, plumbing and electrical requirements, accounting features, vendor discovery, quotation/bidding workflows, order management, and AI-assisted guidance.

By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will request it before processing the relevant information.

2.1 Account and Contact Information

• Name and profile details.
• Email address.
• Mobile number.
• Business, firm, architect, contractor, or vendor information that you choose to provide.
• Login and account identifiers, including information received from supported sign-in providers where applicable.

2.2 Project, Architectural, Construction, and Estimate Data

• Project names, locations or general project areas, dimensions, room details, drawings, photographs, notes, and requirements.
• Building estimates, quantities, material selections, rates, BOQ data, plumbing and electrical requirements.
• Documents or files that you upload, generate, save, or share through the App.

2.3 Accounting and Transaction Information

• Invoices, payments received, expenses, balances, ledgers, GST-related entries, and other accounting records entered by you.
• Order values, vendor quotations, bid amounts, delivery charges, transportation charges, taxes, and related transaction details.
• Subscription or purchase status where paid features are offered.

Payment card, bank, UPI, or other sensitive payment credentials may be processed directly by third-party payment providers or app stores. We do not intend to store complete card details unless expressly stated and handled through an appropriate compliant payment system.

2.4 Location Information

With your permission, the App may collect or access approximate or precise location information to provide location-based features, such as showing nearby vendors, calculating distance, improving vendor selection, or associating a project with a location. You may disable location access through your device settings, but some location-based features may then be unavailable.

2.5 Vendor and Marketplace Information

• Vendor name, business name, category, contact details, service area, address, and location.
• Products, catalog information, pricing, offers, availability, bids, order responses, and fulfilment updates.
• Ratings, profile information, and other details submitted for display to users where such features are enabled.

2.6 AI Assistant Content

If you use AI-assisted features, we may process the prompts, questions, project information, files, or other content that you submit so the App can generate a response. Depending on how the AI feature is implemented, this content may be transmitted to a third-party AI service provider strictly for providing the requested functionality.

AI-generated information is intended to assist users and should not be treated as a substitute for professional architectural, structural, legal, financial, electrical, plumbing, safety, or other specialist advice. Users should verify critical project decisions with a qualified professional.

2.7 Device, Technical, and Usage Information

• Device type, operating system, app version, language, and general technical information.
• IP address or network information where made available to our systems or service providers.
• App interactions, features used, pages viewed, session information, crash reports, and diagnostics.
• Identifiers used for analytics, security, notifications, fraud prevention, or advertising, where applicable.

2.8 Camera, Photos, and Files

If you choose to upload project photos, drawings, invoices, documents, or other files, the App may request permission to access your camera, photos, media, or files. We access such content only as needed for the feature you choose to use.

We may use information to:

• Create, manage, and secure user accounts.
• Provide architectural, estimation, planning, accounting, material, plumbing, electrical, and project-management features.
• Generate estimates, calculations, reports, invoices, lists, and other user-requested outputs.
• Enable AI-assisted responses and recommendations.
• Show nearby or relevant vendors based on category, availability, and location.
• Enable requests for quotation, vendor bidding, order placement, order updates, and communication related to transactions.
• Process or verify subscriptions and purchases.
• Send service messages, account notices, transaction updates, project updates, and notifications.
• Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
• Improve App performance, functionality, reliability, and user experience.
• Detect fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our terms.
• Comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal obligations.

Depending on applicable law and the nature of the processing, we may process information because it is necessary to provide the service you requested, because you gave consent, because we have a legitimate business interest, or because processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only as reasonably necessary with:

• Service providers: hosting, cloud storage, analytics, authentication, notifications, customer support, payment processing, and AI technology providers.
• Vendors and users: information necessary to request quotations, submit bids, place orders, coordinate delivery, or complete marketplace transactions.
• Professional or business partners: where you ask us to share project or service information.
• Legal and safety authorities: where disclosure is required by law, court order, governmental request, or to protect users, our rights, or public safety.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.

If you register as a vendor, certain business information you provide—such as business name, category, service area, catalog, location, contact details, ratings, or offers—may be displayed to users so they can discover and evaluate your services. Do not submit information to a public vendor profile that you do not want displayed.

The App may display advertisements through third-party advertising networks. Depending on your device settings, consent choices, region, and applicable law, advertising partners may process device identifiers, approximate location, or usage information to provide, measure, or personalize advertisements. You can use available device or app controls to manage advertising preferences where supported.

The App may use or link to third-party services such as sign-in providers, cloud services, map/location services, payment services, analytics providers, AI providers, advertising networks, or external websites. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review those policies.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, maintain accounts, complete transactions, comply with legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable requirements.

When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, technical, backup, and record-keeping requirements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your account or personal information.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Request information about how your data is processed or shared.

You can also control certain permissions, such as location, camera, photos, media, and notifications, through your mobile device settings.

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal information by contacting us using the details below. If an in-app account deletion option is available, you may also use that option. Some information may be retained where necessary for legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or security purposes.

We may send service-related communications such as project updates, quotation/bid notifications, order status, payment or subscription information, security alerts, and account-related notices. Promotional communications, if any, will be sent in accordance with applicable law and available opt-out choices.

The App is intended for users who are legally able to enter into service transactions or use professional construction and architecture tools. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

Some third-party service providers may process information on servers located outside your state or country. Where required, we take reasonable steps to use service providers and safeguards consistent with applicable data-protection requirements.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, our practices, third-party services, or applicable requirements. We will publish the updated version and revise the “Last Updated” date above. Where required, we may provide additional notice or request consent.
